Cheetah WIP

Behold the Cheetah! 

A few snapshots of my Cheetah Model in real-time render. 

I have completed the texture enough to instantly recognize this model of a Cheetah, However if I have any extra time once its complete I may polish it a bit more (Maybe once My wrist has recovered from drawing hundreds of dots I will consider it!). Notice the mirrored UV all along the center of the head, back , and tail. Besides the blatant mirror, I think the texture is quite seamless. 

Currently I have start rigging the geometry ready for animation. I plan to animate a run, walk, and Idle cycle.

The rig itself shouldn't take too long, but setting up some nice controllers may take a little while. The main purpose of this model was to show my animation ability, yet also my versatility in modeling, UVing, texturing, and rigging.

The Model is 1192 Triangles (Mid-Low poly'), Texture is 512 Diffuse only ( may reduce to 256 if I tweak the UV )

Stay tuned for the animation!

Portfolio Update!

As you may have read from my Profile, I am currently updating my portfolio. The pieces on this site are quite old for the most part, So its time for a face-lift!

I know this Blog is quite new, but some of the artwork is not. (as you can probably tell from my latest WIP).
Over the next few months and long into the new year, I will be working on adding some newer pieces to my portfolio to bring it up to a nice shiny polish :)

It doesn't take a whole lot of time to actually create the assets for a portfolio. Most of the time comes from drawing inspiration and actually planning what to do. Once I have a few more pieces under my belt I will re-organize this Blog to better display my skills. Currently I have few categories  and I'm leaving quite vague simply due to the fact that some of my work here is almost 2 years old. It's a lot harder to find the time to complete projects to a professional quality at this stage in my life, but I'm not complaining, nothing will stop me!

Anybody reading this who is viewing my portfolio as a professional  please take into account that allot of the pieces on this Blog are quite old and were created while I was still in College. Stay in touch for future updates, I will be announcing my progress with milestones of completed projects.


See you soon!

Jamie.
